Your Support Matters

The TR Site’s daily operations are managed by the Buffalo-based Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Site Foundation through a cooperative agreement with the National Park Service (NPS). The Foundation raises nearly two-thirds of the museum’s annual operating costs through various fundraising efforts as well as grants and donations.
